Film Review: Toy Story 3 3D

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the gang are back on the big screen as their owner, Andy, packs up his things to move to university.

The toys find themselves in day care, a place filled with sticky fingered toddlers who won't play nice and a bossy strawberry scented teddy bear with his army of angry toys.

With no choice but to get out of the centre and head back to Andy's house the gang plan a great escape... but it isn't as easy as it looks.

The stars

Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Slinky and all your other favourite Toy Story stars are back for the third film.

Big Hollywood actor Tom Hanks and Santa Clause star Tim Allen do the voices for Woody and Buzz. Whoopi Goldberg also joins the cast as the voice of Stretch, a massive glittery purple octopus!

Best bits

The whole film is action packed and there weren't really any boring moments. There are a lot of parts where you are on the edge of your seat, especially when the toys decide to try and escape.

There are some really, really funny parts too. We loved the bit when Buzz thinks he's Spanish and starts doing some crazy dance moves. Mr Potatohead's tasty transformation is also amazing!

What makes Toy Story 3 better than the other Toy Story films is that it's 3D. With your 3D specs you feel like you're flying through the trees with Woody!

Fave characters

On top of all of your old fave Toy Story characters, the gang meet a whole bunch of new toys on their long journey home.

Keep an eye out for Mr Pricklepants and his weird shorts...

Any weak bits?

Nope! There are some quite sad parts in the film so you might need your tissues at the ready.

Hit or miss?

A total hit!

Charlotte, 9, Wales

"It is awesome! I think it's the best one yet and it is very funny. Everyone should watch it."

"Toy Story 3 was wicked. I enjoyed the part where the baby doll stood up for himself! This is a 10/10 film."

Emille, 10, West Yorkshire, England

"I saw it in 2D but still loved it. Despite that, I still cried when Andy handed Woody over!"

Jennifer, 11, Gillingham, England

"Toy Story 3 is the best out of all the others! Incredibly FUNNY but emotional. I LOVE IT!"

Ella, 9, Yorkshire, England

"It was the best movie ever! I could watch it a million times! It's very funny, especially Barbie, Ken and Buzz."

David, 5, London, England

"I loved this movie. It was awesome but it can't beat Toy Story 1 and 2."

Anne, 12, England

"It was good but it unfortunately did not live up to the awesome-ness of the past Toy Story movies. Sorry Pixar."

Hannah-Jane, 12, Northampton, England

"Toy Story 3 is rubbish. It's so boring to watch."

Chloe, 10, Hull, England

"Me and my dad went to see this together and we were both crying near the end. Toy Story was the first film I ever watched so I'm really sad that there will be no more. My dad was really freaked out about the baby doll but I think it's nice. The children at the day care centre are horrible! I love it when Barbie starts ripping up Ken's clothes to make him talk, and I also love how the aliens save the toys. Overall it's the best film I've ever seen. 10/10!"

Kirsten, 11, Inverness, Scotland

"It's the best one yet!"

Teresa, 9, London, England

"I think that it is funny, but not as good as the other Toy Story films."

Kieran, 9, Co. Durham, England

"I thought this film was fantastic, but the 3D wasn't fab. I loved it when Buzz started speaking Spanish!"

"I love Toy Story 3, it is amazing. I love Woody!"

"This was an amazing story with all the original characters. The music was good and it had loads of detail in the beginning."

Finlay, 7, Berkshire, England

"Toy Story 3 was, as most people say, the best Toy Story so far. I agree that it's a little bit sad at the end but that's just the way to end a series of films, with a heart-warming feeling which always stays there. Bye bye Woody, Buzz and all the other toys. We'll miss you!"

Alex, 10, Kent, England

"My sister, some of our friends and I went to see it and we all loved it. It was amazing but so sad. It made us cry so much!"

Ruth, 12, Isle of Wight, England

"A very good film, the best so far. Also, INCREDIBLY funny, who would have thought that Buzz would have a Spanish mode? I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The 3D made it a lot better."

William, 7, Cambridge, England

"It is one of the best films I have ever seen! How To Train Your Dragon, Shrek 4 and Toy Story 3 are the best films EVER!"

Amber, 13, London, England

"I LOVED IT but it was a bit sad."

Sophie, 13, Berkshire, England

"Seeing it myself, it's an amazing film! But to be honest I would say it's not really for younger children, as it is quite emotional and there are plenty of things happening. It is a typical story of this generation and I would see it all again!"

Laura, 11, Surrey, England

"This film is absolutely hilarious. It's so funny when Mr Potato Head has to change his body from a potato to a pancake."

Stacey, 13, Glasgow, Scotland

"This film is the best! I was crying at the end! It is so funny and yet such a sad film! It had a great mix of everything."

Amelia, 13, Birmingham, England

"Me and my brother went to see this film in 3D and it was great but sad."

"It's the best one yet."

Joshua, 12, Southend-on-Sea, England

" I absolutely loved the film! I saw it in 3D but I honestly think that the 3D effects aren't that great. It was really funny and I think it was better than Toy Story 1 and 2."

Rubie, 12, Newcastle, England

"I think everyone should see this film because it is really funny and you want to know what will happen next."

Edward, 8, Hull, England

"I thought that it was really really good, definitely worth the long wait. The best part was Ken's fashion show!"

Claire, 13, England

"It's the best movie ever. Everyone I know has given it 5 stars."

Jonathan, 11, Hampshire, England

"I loved it all. I don't have a favourite bit because it was all so good."

Hamish and Jasmine, 4 and 12, Glasgow, Scotland

"It is so good! My fave parts are when Buzz turns Spanish and Mr Potato Head is stuck up a kid's nose. My fave character is Big Baby. I wouldn't rate it 10/10 because it was so good it can't fit on the scale!"

Dan, 10, Sussex, England

"Toy Story 3 was amazing in 3D. It was funny when Ken and Barbie first met. I nearly cried at the end, it was super upsetting. The baby at Sunnyside with the freaky eyes was a bit scary. I give this film a 10/10. You're mad if you don't see it."

Jena, 12, Scotland

"It's brilliant and the 3D effects are fab, especially when Buzz turns Spanish and starts dancing with Jessie!"

Zara, 10, Cheltenham, England

"I thought the film was rubbish. Worst Disney film yet."

Beth, 12, Stoke, England

"I think it's much more action-packed than the others. It's awesome. My favourite character is Rex because he's five times funnier than before!"

Anna, 9, London, England

"Get your tissues ready for Toy Story 3 because I can assure you there will be a lot of weeping. When Andy leaves for college he separates all his belongings and after a long and hard decision he decides to take Woody to college and leave all the others in the attic. Then his mum picks up the bag for the attic and takes it to the curb thinking it's the rubbish bag. DISASTER STRIKES! If you would like to see the rest then I advise you quick, run to the cinema and settle down with some popcorn because I rate this five stars!"

Jemima, 10, London, England

"It was mega funny. My dad and I liked the bit when Buzz didn't know how he was dancing and the bit where Barbie and Ken met!"

"I really loved Toy Story 3 and I would love to see it again! It is the best one yet!"

Victoria, 12, Essex, England

Charlotte, 13, Milton Keynes, England

"One of the best films ever!"

Siobhan, 11, East Sussex, England

"I personally love this film to bits. The previous Toy Story films have been great but this one is something special. Parts of it are moving but really really funny!"

Kat, 12, Surrey, England

"It wasn't as good as the other two films. The storyline could have been a lot better and I was disappointed that they didn't bring back some of the other main characters like Wheezy and Bo Peep."

Chloe, 12, Wales

"It's really good! I like the bit where the clown tells Woody about how the bear became EVIL!"

Hannah, 13, England

"I watched this film in 3D and it's very good, different from the other Toy Story films because the boy is grown up!"

"It was brilliant!"

Emily, 11, Worcestershire, England

"Toy Story 3 was AMAZING! It was really good but don't be fooled by that bear! The only thing was that I was nearly crying at the end."

Gregor, 9, Falkirk, Scotland

"This movie is probably the best thing that will happen this year. Honestly!"

Claire, 13, Dublin, England

"As many people have already commented, the 3D effects of this film are very poor but apart from that the film is very good and lived up to the other Toy Story films. All the characters are still the same and the addition of more characters was a good idea. I was pleased with the ending."

Izzy, 13, Bedfordshire, England

"Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW! I loved this movie! It's definitely the best out of the three. It was full of adventure and it was one of those few movies that I never want to end! There was a really sad point close to the end and I remember thinking, 'I am going to be so angry if it ends here!'"

Amy, 14, Bournemouth, England

"I thought that it was really good! It is packed with action. The worst thing is I nearly cried in the end, it made me so sad! The characters were amazing. I love Woody and Buzz. I love this film so it's a massive HIT!"

"It was great in 3D."

Becky, 12, Kent, England

"I loved Toy Story 3! It was so funny. I love Ken and Barbie. It doesn't matter how old you are, my brother's 15 and he loved it!"

Rose, 10, Kent, England

"Toy Story 3 was brilliant! It was the best out of all the Toy Story films. It was very funny and there were some very interesting characters such as Lotso and Ken. It was exciting too, although it was very sad in some parts and the 3D effects could have been used more. Great film, which gives it a 10/10 rating!"

Danielle and Sophie, 14, Bournemouth, England

"It is brilliant but I prefer when Andy is younger, not when he is 17! 7/10."

"I think this film is AMAZING. I love Toy Story and couldn't wait for it to come out, even though I'm 13 and my dad wants to see it! I sooooo rate this 10/10."

Beth, 13, Milton Keynes, England

"Toy Story 3 was amazing. I recommend going to see it! If you have seen all the others you will understand the plot as soon as it starts, if not then you'll understand it quite soon!"

Benedict, 11, Flemish Brabant, Belgium

"Very enjoyable. The 3D effects aren't good but on the whole a good film."

Ben, 10, Cardiff, Wales

"It's amazing, the multimedia and avatars used are phenomenal! I've already made my own avatar, which is a character made by a computer. It's really hard work so Toy Story is fantastic!"

Elise, 11, Cornwall, England

"Brilliant and extremely surprising. Good for people of all ages."

Ayesha, 10, London, England

"I thought this movie was really good. I found it really funny when Barbie met Ken and I would rate it 8/10."

"The movie is so good but I did end up in a few tears!"

Patrick, 11, Liverpool, England

"It was the best film I've ever seen and it made me cry - a lot!"

Kirsten, 11, Inverness, Scotland"

"It was a fantastic film and the end had me in tears. The only disappointment was the 3D effects - there basically wasn't any and you could take your 3D glasses off in the middle of a scene and the quality would look normal and then it would go fuzzy. That was the only let down for me, otherwise the film was fantastic and it is definitely the best one out of the trilogy!"

"I love this film! It is funny and sad and everyone that loves Toy Story should see it!!"

Jess, 11, London, England

Jake, 6, Shropshire, England

Hannah, 9, Manchester, England

"SO AWESOME! It is fantastic. My favourite character is Jessie."

"It is SO sad at and near the end, that I ended up crying!"

Rehan, 11, Birmingham, England

"I think it was great. I went to see it with my mum and my brother. It was unique and adventurous although it got a bit sad in the middle. To sum it all up, I enjoyed it and I hope there is a Toy Story 4!"
